    Wildstar Launch Thread - Server: Stormtalon | Faction: Dominion

    There were both some positives and negatives from this game. I enjoyed the challenge and the combat was some of the best I've seen in a MMO. No idea why people are shitting on the combat. I would have stuck longer with this game if I were still single with no wife or kids and could devote...

    What classes from all other MMOs would you bring back into a new Game?

    Not only would I want a new MMO to have an EQ bard (and enchanter) class, but I also want a MMO whose gameplay increases the value of a support class. I don't recall any MMO other than EQ that had mobs flee at low health, pulling tactics that allowed you to split up trash, increased risk of...

    A man of your considerable programming talents should obviously be working on the Fallout 4 team. Send me your resume via PM and I will make sure it gets into the right hands.

    I know you two believe that stating your opinion as fact means you always get to be correct, but allow me the opportunity to pass on a tidbit of information to you that you may not be aware of since you haven't played the game in a while. The guild trading kiosk system in TESO operates under...

    Once again, there are two sides to the issue. Your problem as well as many others here is you are incapable of comprehending that different people can have different results/outcomes playing the same game. Different computers, different play styles, different connections speeds etc. Take...

    Really? Your memory is very poor then. There have been numerous occasions where I have acknowledged the problems with this game. Pull your head out of your butt and read my reply earlier on this page about the continued problems with lag in Cyrodil as proof.

    Entertaining as always to see you resort to this line of thought. Anyone who doesn't toe the Rerolled party line that all design decisions you don't like or agree with is proof positive that the developers are incompetent must be an employee of the game company. Personally, I operate under...

    Come on now you know when the B2P conversion went live that number jumped back up to 18. I know it will cause emotional pain and suffering to some people here, but the B2P conversion along with patch 1.6 did cause a spike in number of players. How much is anyone's guess. I just know prior...

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    The bots disappeared from the game when they made changes that only allowed you to delete three characters per day and loot drops on the delve bosses to have something like a 24 hour timer before you could get loot from them again. I haven't seen the bot armies like in those videos in over 6+...

    Its been discussed numerous times on the forums about the guild store vs global AH from the start being an anti-bot measure. It has started up again recently due to the influx of new players from the B2P conversion. Your refusal to acknowledge that because you don't like the game doesn't...

    It is irritating when you are used to a global auction house. They went with that approach as an anti-bot measure. End result is the design is annoying but it helps prevent botting, which can also be annoying. I've never been one to play the auction house game to make a profit but apparently...

    Nameplates is a losing battle I have tried to fight multiple times on the official forums going back to closed beta. For every one MMO vet who agrees that nameplates are an integral part of any MMO, there will be 3-4 hardcore TES single player fans who come back with the argument "Skyrim and...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    My pugilist is level 25 and so far I am enjoying the game, primarily because of the main story and class quest lines. I had been doing all the sidequests but was quickly several levels above the content so I have been skipping all sidequests that are lower level and will use them to level up...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Are you basing that on the assumption that the expansion won't have some method to upgrade the relics and will instead just replace them? I just started playing so still have a long ways to go but the relic weapon quest looked like something that would be worthwhile to pursue. Lastly...

    For first time players, should I skip most of the kill X bears and collect Y bear asses side quests? That seems to be the nature of most of the side quests I have come across with my first character. He is level 15, has done every single quest I have come across, and is now 2-3 levels above...

    Logged in early this morning and was able to create a second character on Excalibur. Apparently even if you have purchased the game and already have a character on a server, when that server is locked for new character creation it is locked across the board for everyone regardless of whether...

    I decided to say screw it and bought the game. Still can't create a second character on Excalibur.

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Do you know for certain that is the case? I have a character on Excalibur and on the free trial it was locked for creating new characters. Didn't make sense to not allow someone with a character already on the server to not make a new one so my assumption is it was a free trial limitation.

    That guide mentions a long relic weapon quest chain. Is that something that will become obsolete when the expansion comes out or will there be a way to upgrade it in the expansion? I chose a tank as first character because of instaqueues as well but I'm beginning to think the combat gameplay...

    Neverwinter: PC

    One thing I learned about PVP in Neverwinter the hard way is that once you get to level 60, success in PVP is pretty much entirely based on how good your gear is. I PVPed a lot while levelling up and the matches were fun when everyone else is in crappy green/blue levelling gear. As soon as I...

    Anyone know if you can create a 2nd character on the same world with a free trial account? I am on Excalibur which is a full server so the only way to create a new character there is in the middle of the night or early morning. Not going to bother trying to create a new character during...

    I can see your point about telegraph reaction time being relatively equal across multiple games. With that said, the reverse argument also holds true for the 2.5 second global cooldown. If a game isn't going to have action oriented combat like Wildstar, TESO, GW2 and Neverwinter, what is the...

    I'm honestly intrigued to hear you are having fun playing a theme park WoW clone with a slow paced tab targeting combat system yet you hated TESO with a passion. I thought you pretty much universally hated themepark MMOs.

    Over in the "MMO with best group PVE content" thread a few people had positive comments about the group PVE gameplay in FF14. Based on those comments and the free 14 day trial I downloaded the game and have gotten a gladiator up to level 10. I know the newbie levels are primarily to introduce...

    Best Group pvE in MMO of today ? ( Not EQ or Wow )

    I'm kinda in the same boat as you. My days of raiding are pretty much over so for me the endgame for any MMO I play has to have good group dungeon content that is challenging and entertaining. The thing is no MMO (at least the ones I have played) has ever figured out how to combine the best of...

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    The default UI is the worst of any MMO ever made. The PC version is only playable if you use the more popular player made addons. Wykkyds entire collection is a good starting point. Those addons resolve pretty much all the major shortcomings of the default UI. Supposedly the console...

    You gotta admit the patcher does suck. Lot of complaints on the forums from people with SSD drives who can't patch the game because they have limited space left. I had to install it on my second hard drive to avoid running out of space on my SSD primary.

    Best Group pvE in MMO of today ? ( Not EQ or Wow )

    Correct. Draegan was just being obtuse. Whatever the fuck you want to call it, I don't like the whole Asian/Pokemon/anime art style. If there is something about the grouping that makes it stand out, then perhaps the graphics are something that could be overlooked.

    Best Group pvE in MMO of today ? ( Not EQ or Wow )

    Never even considered playing Final Fantasy because I don't care for the whole anime/Pokemon art style. What makes the PVE group gameplay in FF so special? In EQ1 the group gameplay was special because as a bard there were so many things I could to help the group, especially when the SHTF...

    Neverwinter: PC

    It's been over a year since I played but I'm 99% certain Cryptic keeps an "average time to complete" metric for every Foundry quest because the only ones eligible for the Daily quest have to exceed a specific minimum time to complete (think it's 15 minutes). The most popular speedrun foundry...

    Neverwinter: PC

    It would be nice if some MMO would actually design a quality dialog tree that gave you more than two options to choose. In SWTOR your dialog choices gave you Light/Dark points but they had to little to no impact on the rest of the quest. The NPC's response was worded to reflect your Light or...
